I think they'll switch soon. I'd say next offseason. With this stuff, there's always a trickle down. The AHL finds the next new hotness in providers (it was AmericaOne, then Neulion), the ECHL follows suit usually a year later, and then the SPHL the year after that. I know quite a few SP fans in multiple markets that complain about the price but still plop it down each year. As long as people still open their wallets, Neulion sees no need to drop the price.

Why I'm gonna be miserable this season: Take a decidedly average to sub-par OL, sprinkle in liberally a good dose of injuries, try to install a new offense that's completely different from the previous one. MIX VIGOROUSLY!

Four game parlay, all money lines. Duke over Northwestern, Houston over Arizona, Central Michigan over Kansas, and FAU over Air Force. I literally thought CMU was the closest thing to a lock. It's effing Kansas. All three others hit and I lose the bet because damn Kansas finally figured out how to win a road game. And if you're wondering, CMU was the favorite heading into the game.

Peoria's majority owner is close to a billionaire and they're one of a handful of teams that turn a profit. They're not hurting for cash. With Evansville sticking around and seemingly stable,

That's not exactly new news. That article is a month old.

Jesus Christ, kid. Stop while you're only 100 feet underground.

Wut ... I ... screw it, it's not worth it.

I was at that game in Arlington when we played Okie State. These gold numbers were damn near impossible to read under the lights. ----- I'd just like to remind everyone that he and his ideas are not representative of FSU fans as a whole.

Nah, it's not Grand Canyon. Looks the Horizon League is heading into beautiful Indianapolis. They've invited IUPUI. They're replacing northeast Indiana but not quite Chicago with Indianapolis. Even though this isn't really about TV viewers, it's an upgrade in locale.

BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE. The owner says he's designed the logo himself. H/T to MaconHockeyFan on SPHLForums.com

I've seen others say cell phone company

I never heard of (or don't remember) any legal issues with their newest logo. It doesn't matter anyway, it was confirmed that Cottonmouths franchise is now Birmingham and this will be a new franchise altogether. And it's uh ... it's a name... and that's a logo...

It looks like we'll have another new logo for minor league hockey in Columbus, Ga., starting in 2018-19. http://wrbl.com/2017/06/20/new-owner-purchasing-columbus-pro-hockey-affiliation-from-sphl/ This article makes it seem as though this is the same franchise as the Cottonmouths but that the now former owners do not wish to give up the branding.

Might be named the Maine Mariners. That was the name when the Flyers were first involved with Portland.

It's not that there weren't enough cities. Kunlun Red Star (no S) were starting a women's team as well as a second men's team. They hired Digit Murphy last season to guide them in the process and select a league they would join. The Russian Women's league doesn't have teams in the Far East and the quality isn't as high as the NWHL/CWHL. So if you're going to fly forever to play away games, you might as well go with the higher quality of play. Especially when your goal is to improve the level of women's hockey before the 2022 Beijing games. They haven't said how much they paid but they made sure to let it be known they paid a fairly hefty expansion fee.
